    My grandfather typed his sermons on a manual #typewriter using the #HuntAndPeck method (using only his left and right index fingers). He used #CarbonPaper to make a #CarbonCopy. I don't know what #WordsPerMinute he achieved, but his fingers moved like lightning. #CC

    My dad used to type lengthy family letters with a manual #typewriter on seven layers: four sheets of #OnionSkinPaper and three sheets of #CarbonPaper. He would #ReUse the carbon paper and #TypewriterRibbon until you could barely read the text. #CarbonCopy #CC
